So everyone agrees on happiness instead of passion, and I got a bunch of fears.
Things I am passionate about. And why not make it a living.
Photography. I did make an income from it for 22 years until camera's in cell phones became the norm. Now everyone, anyone can take a photo.
Massage Therapy for 23 years. Still doing it for an income, however I only massage clean people (no body odor). You'd be amazed how many people have poor hygiene.
Trading financial markets. Currently trying to master this. I will be employed at my current workplace for 29 years in June 2016. The plan is to stay there until 2022. Only 6 years to go until a full retirement.
Spending the day outside at a sunny park under the shade can make me happy. Volunteering my time towards a charity can make me happy. Hearing children play can make me happy.
At one time, the 3 things that I'm passionate about were things that made me happy and I found a way to turn my hobby into an income for the first 2. Now I'm focused on the 3rd.
Look for free classes or free seminars. When someone offers to show you something, listen to what they have to say.
Sometimes your passion finds you.
Passion 1. My grandfather gave me a camera when I was 7. He told me to keep taking pictures until I became good at it.
Passion 2. I was rear ended in a car accident. After having neck and back pain for two years. One five minute massage from a professional massage therapist took away the pain. So I decided to go to school and help others with pain.
Passion 3. I got a letter in the mail to attend a free seminar. I bought the product they were selling for $5000. Got burned, lost all the money I saved. Still, I wondered how some people were able to make a living from it. You can with the proper training and discipline.
One girl I know, her passion is yoga. She is always trying to get me to go to her class.
